Is located in Owensville, Maryland. After,more than 15 
years of researching this cemetery. I have compiled a list 
of burials of persons who are buried in the cemetery. A 
photograph of the cemetery was donated for this project 
and a book has been published. The photo of the cemetery 
has been featured in the book.

 Some of these burials consists of former slaves who lived 
in the area. 

Through, oral interviews from residents who live in the 
area. The descendents have personal knowledge that their 
ancestors are buried in the cemetery and can remember 
seeing the tombstones.

I have conducted this research through a genealogy 
approach and it would be very difficult for others to 
determine who are buried in the cemetery without making 
the family connection. Many of the names are the same.

 After, the burials ceased at Daniel Starr, the attending 
physcian who, signed the death certificate continued on 
identifying the cemetery as Daniel Starr instead of Chews 
Chapel or vice verse and would continue on for many years 
after.

* This also happened in other cases.

All known burials at this site are of African American 
descent who attended the first M.E. Church which later 
became Chews Chapel Church.
